Did you know that so far in 2016 over 23 MILLION people have visited LifeSiteNews, where they have viewed over 53 MILLION pages - making LifeSite the #1 most-read pro-life website on the Internet?

In fact, if everybody who read this donated just $5 to our Christmas campaign...the fundraiser would be over in a matter of HOURS!

You know that the mainstream media is anti-life and anti-family. You know that we can’t count on them to defend our values, or to tell our stories. That’s why we need a different kind of journalism - one that is professional, of the highest quality, fearless, objective, truthful…and 100%, unapologetically pro-life and pro-family.

That's LifeSiteNews.

But to keep this truth mission alive, we rely on a growing army of everyday readers like you - readers who donate whatever they can afford, even just $5!

NOTRE DAME, Indiana, March 30, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The University of Notre Dame has stood by its decision to publish a list of “internship opportunities” on its website that includes pro-abortion and leftist organizations, while one professor at the school has lashed out at members of the conservative group petitioning against the listing, calling them “monsters.”

TFP Student Action, the conservative watchdog group that is leading a 10,000-strong petition against the school’s inclusion of pro-abortion groups on an internship web page, reported Friday that not only had Notre Dame kept the listings, but that the school was found to have funded some of the problematic internships.

The school’s Department of Political Science continues to link to groups such as Emily’s List, Feminist Majority Foundation, and the United Nations Population Fund as “Summer Internship Programs.” Since TFP’s petition was launched, however, a sentence has been added to the top of the page stating: “Listing here does not constitute an endorsement of the mission of agenda of these organizations by the department or the University.”

Notre Dame officials had initially criticized TFP for “misrepesenting” the internship listings as a school-sponsored offer, arguing that it was simply a listing of previous internships attended by Notre Dame students. A later message from the office of the president to a TFP supporter posted by the group emphasized that the group’s initial statement, which had been amended by TFP to accommodate the correction, was “false” and “unsubstantiated.”

However, the groups writes: “Those live links are still listed as ‘opportunities.’ And what are students expected to understand from the term ‘opportunity’ other than just that – opportunity?”

Meanwhile, one member of the university’s faculty gave vent to anger at the petitioners: an email from the professor forwarded to LifeSiteNews.com told TFP to “back off, you monsters” and defended organizations such as Emily’s List as doing “fabulous work.”

“You should be ashamed of yourselves, with your bullying ‘oral’ tactics. Wake up. Do you think only Christians like you have a purchase on morality?” the professor continued. “Remember the Inquisition. Remember the Holocaust when your Pope refused to protect Jews and collaborated with the Nazi [sic]. Remember your priests who even today choose to fondle little boys with no choice in the matter. ... Back off with your morality. You wouldn’t know what it was iof [sic] it was poured over your head.”

“Clearly, not all professors at Notre Dame respect the Catholic faith or the right to life,” remarked TFP on its website.
